I'm just one person out of 10,000 descendants. I want them just to keep the process of listening to create just that. What I discovered in communicating with the administration at the president's office, in particular, that there were other descendants that, of course, I wasn't privy to knowing that they existed or they were communicating with them. And I stumbled on that. So we made sure that everybody who was known to be a representative of a group had something so that . . . Hey, you a part of this and you a valued member. So, the transparency--Let us communicate with us about what's going on. In fact, who are the descendants? So that we can communicate with each other. Unless somebody says, “Hey, for privacy reasons, they don't want anybody else to know.”
Also, there's got to be ways that Georgetown and the Jesuits can find ways to almost create opportunities for capacity. What I mean by that, say with research and archives that, we're not coming always to them. We have people who are PhDs, graduate students and the like who could really participate in some of the research, too. In fact, they are. We are, in terms of . . . Also, a lot of things related to the GU272, we can be a part of, lecturing and developing other academic and non-academic programs related to GU272. In addition to, obviously, that there were other things, in fact, that the descendants spoke about at the gathering on last Tuesday. That list is kind of extensive. But I think the openness, the transparency, and they're willing to say, "Hey. Receive us as people worthy of being included,” is the beginning. Link to Biography
